7.1.3 About Cleaning the Card Cleaning Roller
The EC2000’s card cleaning roller, located below the image printer’s ribbon, removes lint and other
particles from the surfaces of card stock before printing. These particles accumulate on the card cleaning
roller over time and must be wiped off. If a cleaning roller is damaged or worn, it should be replaced (see
section 7.2 Replacing the Card Cleaning Roller for details).
7.1.4 How to Clean the Card Cleaning Roller
To clean the card cleaning roller (see this YouTube video for a demonstration):
1) Obtain a card cleaning roller wipe from the EC2000 Cleaning Kit.
2) Remove any jewelry or accessories that could touch the print head during cleaning.
3) Open the EC2000’s top access door (see section 6.5 Top Access Door Security).
4) Open the image printer and remove the ribbon (see section 6.8 Image Printer).

you can not wipe off, contact MagTek Support Services for assistance.
